This amendment makes the bill stronger in two important ways: First. it clarifies that nothing in the billrepeat. nothinginhibits the ability to monitor Osama bin Laden. al Qaeda. proliferators of weapons of mass destruction or any terror group or individual who threatens our national security. Second. and this is a point that was just addressed by the gentleman from Michigan . it clarifies that nothing. nothing. in the bill extends any rights to people who are not in the United States legally. Undocumented aliens. people who arent citizens or have overstayed their visas receive no rights under this bill. Some may try to scare us into thinking otherwise. but theyre just wrong. The bill does not change current law. and this is a point that may have been overlooked by the gentleman from Michigan. It does not change current law regarding the surveillance of undocumented aliens. Since 1978. FISA. which was enacted in that year. has extended fourth amendment protections to persons legally in the United States.
